Honestly… it’s time Greta got a grip.

This is a stunt. She’s sailing on a yacht with a diesel motor, which they’ve been using because the sails haven’t been up.

There’s been photos and video, Greta doing the Titanic at the bow, on her merciful mission to save the Middle East onboard the vessel complete with Aircon and TVs and Instagram.

As for being kidnapped, this must be the first time a victim has broadcast their own hostage video. How does that work?

It’s a tiny yacht. How much aid can you actually have on board?

There’s no doubt Palestinians desperately need aid because of Israel’s inhumane blockade. Unfortunately, they’re not going to get any from this attention obsessed Swede. 

This is the problem I think people have with protesters. Not the ones who protest and then do something useful like become scientists and invent a solution to global warming.

Protesters who protest for the sake of it and change causes with the wind. 

One day it’s the climate and oil is the devil and the house is burning down.

Then the next it’s powering through the Med on a diesel laden yacht to rescue Gaza. 

And it’s a bit like a drug. 

John Minto is a case in point. Serial protester. Most recently seen promoting a bounty tipline for hunting out Israeli's holidaying in New Zealand. 

You name a cause; he’ll get behind it.

In Europe they’re defacing ancient artefacts, throwing soup on paintings and confetti on the Court at Wimbledon.

While they’re doing all these ridiculous stunts, hoovering up social media followers along the way, they claim, as Greta did yesterday, that it’s not about them.

It’s about the Palestinian people, not me, said Greta. 

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
